Replacement and adjustment of the dipped beam on a Piaggio Vespa.

To replace the burnt headlight bulb of a Vespa Piaggio, we need to remove the cover by unscrewing the 4 bottom bolts. Lift the cover (without removing it because it is connected to the odometer). Now there are two screws on the sides of the headlight, internally, plus the adjustment screw below. Unscrew them and now the headlight is only held by electrical connections. The YouTuber recommends not to disconnect the headlight but to just remove the bulb holder, so you can easily remove the bulb. Take the opportunity to lubricate the accelerator and gearbox gears with WD-40. Also check the position light bulb while you're at it. Replace the bulb (for once the YouTuber handles it correctly with gloves). Before reassembling the reflector, clean it thoroughly, as internal dust reduces brightness. Reinstall the bulb in the reflector, reconnect the electrical connectors and reassemble the headlight inside the cover. Put the internal screws back in place and then the external ones. Now adjust the height. Put the lower bolt back in place for adjustment - which we had removed - following Piaggio's instructions. If we have some space available, we can do as our YouTuber suggests: make two marks with chalk, on the ground and on a wall, to have references and adjust the height of the headlight using the adjustment bolt placed under the headlight. At that point we can tighten it.

How to replace the clutch on the Honda CRF 450R?

The replacement of the Honda CRF 450 clutch is carried out by loosening the bolts that secure the crankcase positioned on the right side of the bike, so that it can be removed. After the crankcase has therefore been removed, it will be possible to access the components that are inside it: the discs that make up the clutch can all be removed after having unscrewed the bolts that secure them. Once the discs have been removed, it will be possible to insert the new ones, fixing them with the relative bolts and covering everything with the special cover previously removed.
